http://38degrees.org.uk/page/s/recall/The Petition - call to party leaders to pass a new recall law
Dear Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Elfyn Llwyd and Angus Robertson
The latest scandal on MP expenses has appalled us. Yet even if MPs have clearly broken rules in ways that would see them sacked in any other job, there is nothing we can do to remove them until the next election.
As voters we no longer accept that politicians can sort this mess out on their own - MPs will only regain our trust when we know they truly answer to us.
We need new ways to hold MPs to account, and these must include a new Recall Law. If enough local voters feel their MP has let them down, they should be able to trigger a fresh vote to test whether the MP still has local support.
We therefore call on you to co-operate to pass a new recall law. We call on you to do this urgently.
Please sign and pass on this message.
